Big Day for Spiders

Had to do some yard work over the weekend and I cannot begin to tell you about all the spiders I saw. There were brown recluse spiders under my trailer tarp, orb spiders in the bushes that I had to trim, tiny brown spiders in the tree that drops low over my driveway now, a black widow in the grass, and even a white spider that crawled out from the retractable dog leash that I picked up. I’m not afraid of spiders but I don’t like them and I am going to call the pest control company or head out to the hardware store to buy some pesticides. It just seems like last weekend was all about spiders.

Raccoon’s

Well, with the cold weather here, it’s brought a little family of raccoon’s to nest in my attic. They may be cute, but they are very destructive and I store my holiday decorations and various other things up there.

I called a pest control service that humanely removes the raccoon’s with traps and then set them loose in the wild. I couldn’t see them harmed as some people would do, so this is best. Besides, the kids would not understand if we didn’t trap them, they would be very upset.

They set the traps and caught them within a couple of days. Now that they are out of my house, I have to clean up the mess and fix the hole they made getting in. Time to get to work.
